“Hahahaha…” As soon as Lu Xiangtian finished his sentence, Lu Sizheng, who was hiding behind the messy and complicated goods, finally stepped forward. A few people followed him. The one who was in the center of the crowd was Zhao Youlin, led by gunpoint.
The moment Mu Tingfeng saw Zhao Youlin, he subconsciously took a step forward. He wanted to go forward and save her, but he saw Zhao Youlin winking at him.
Mu Tingfeng suddenly stopped. His sharp eyes stared at the guns pointed at Zhao Youlin’s head, and his hands subconsciously tightened.
Lu Sizheng did not notice the interaction between the two. At that moment, his attention was completely focused on Lu Xiangtian. “No, this is what you taught me. You told me that in the face of an opponent who is stronger than me, it is not advisable to fight head-on. You have to know how to be roundabout and stack up the chips in your hand.”
“So you are admitting that you are a weakling?” Lu Xiangtian’s gaze towards Lu Sizheng had long lost its usual gentleness. It had become sharp and ruthless.
“So what if I admit it? The strong and the weak are temporary states of things. Nothing is set in stone. The strong will always look down on the weak. That is why they are uprooted by the weak when they least expect it.”
“Are you so confident that the chips in your hand are enough to fight against me?”
“You will know in a while. But before that, I’m more curious about how you found me.”
Lu Xiangtian looked at his “son” who had been raised for nearly ten years and smiled. There was a hint of mockery in his voice. “I taught you myself. I’m more familiar with your behavior and even the way you speak than anyone else. Do you think you can hide it from me with a pathetic voice changer? Most importantly…”
“What?”
Lu Xiangtian shot a cold glance at Lu Sizheng. “No one knows about what happened to Lu Shu except for my trusted aides in my manor. If you do know, it means that there’s a mole in my manor. The only one who can plant a mole in my manor is probably you.”
Of course, after taking the call, Lu Xiangtian had immediately sent someone to look for Lu Sizheng. The result was a report saying that the other party had gone out and didn’t come back. They also didn’t know where Lu Sizheng had gone. Lu Xiangtian had grown even more certain.
“Cut the crap. Was what you said on the phone true? Where is my biological daughter?”
Lu Sizheng did not directly answer Lu Xiangtian’s question. Instead, he turned his gaze to Lu Shu, who was not far away and on the verge of collapse. Her face was pale. He chuckled and said, “Lu Shu, how are you feeling? It must be hard to fall straight from heaven into hell, right? I’ve reminded you before that if I can bring you to your current position, I can also bring you down from this position.”
When Lu Sizheng said this, the expressions of everyone present changed to a certain extent. Lu Shu gritted her teeth and glared at Lu Sizheng, as if she finally understood the real reason why she had ended up like this.
Lu Xiangtian was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning behind Lu Sizheng’s words. His face finally sank completely. Good… Good job! His son, whom he had nurtured for nearly ten years, had actually conspired with his fake daughter to lie to him for so many years!
No wonder… No wonder when someone found out about Lu Shu’s background not long ago, Lu Sizheng, who had always seemed to be at odds with Lu Shu, suddenly made a move to warn the other party. It turned out… it turned out that the two of them were birds of a feather in this matter!
Lu Sizheng quickly noticed the cold killing intent coming from Lu Xiangtian and chuckled. He spread his hands and said, “Dad, don’t stare at me like that. I’m just doing what you taught me. Use all the resources available to me to take revenge on the person I hate. Make the other party pay the heaviest price. Even if I can’t deliver them a heavy blow right now, I must make them suffer so much that they wish they were dead. Isn’t that what you taught me back then?”
Lu Xiangtian said nothing, but Zhao Youlin and the others couldn’t help but frown. Lu Sizheng’s hostility toward Lu Xiangtian was really baffling to them.
Lu Sizheng saw that Lu Xiangtian didn’t respond for a long time. The sneer on his lips became more and more pronounced. “Moreover, this matter can not be entirely blamed on me and Lu Shu. If you had not listened to that orphanage’s one-sided story, how could you have mistaken her for someone else?”
“Orphanage?” Zhao Youlin could not help but interrupt when she heard this.
Lu Sizheng seemed to have expected this. He tilted his head and smiled. “That’s right, an old woman from an orphanage. You probably did not know. Back then, the reason why Lu Xiangtian went to Lu Shu and mistook her for his own daughter was because an old woman from an orphanage told her that there was a girl in their orphanage who was indeed wearing the necklace when she was picked up and brought back to the orphanage. Now that the child has left the orphanage, she has gone out to study and work on her own. At that time, Lu Xiangtian mistakenly thought that the person was Lu Shu, and the reason for this misunderstanding was because…”
Lu Sizheng paused at this point and turned to look at Lu Shu. He asked in a deep voice, “Do you want to tell me yourself, or do you want me to help you?”
Lu Shu was stunned for a moment. She knew that there was no way she could hide this secret today, so she suddenly burst into laughter. “Hahahaha…”
In that instant, she was the only one left in the huge warehouse laughing wildly.
Zhao Youlin and the others subconsciously frowned, but no one said anything.
When Lu Shu was done laughing, the atmosphere in the warehouse became a little strange.
Lu Shu turned to look at Lu Xiangtian, she sneered. “Retribution, retribution! When Lu Xiangtian came to me and said that I might be his daughter, I was also shocked. But I soon realized that something was wrong. The person Lu Xiangtian was talking about was not me, but… But… Zhao Youlin!”
Upon hearing this name, Lu Xiangtian’s expression changed. His gaze instantly fell on Zhao Youlin, who was not far away.
Lu Shu saw his reaction and chuckled. “It’s not this Zhao Youlin. It’s that Officer Zhao from our police station back then.”
This time, it was Li Yan’s expression that changed.
Lu Shu had been paying attention to Li Yan. When she saw this, her expression instantly turned ugly. She snorted coldly. She continued, “About 11 or 12 years ago, a fire broke out in the orphanage where I was staying. After the fire, many of the orphans’ information was destroyed, including mine and Zhao Youlin’s. Oh, that’s not right. At that time, her name was Wanwan. The reason that old woman mistook me for Zhao Youlin was because the woman who adopted Zhao Youlin at that time wanted to adopt me!”
